When can we expect 1st reviews ?

Anyone know when the car will be released to the press for for the 1st test drive ? Unlike the F80 which was no brainer for me at the time, I would prefer to see the 1st reviews before pulling the trigger on the F90

Thanks but this thread was posted in May and it's just review on the F90 prototype, not the final version.

The car is not released yet so how could they review the final version?

I'm just asking when we can expect the first review after next week official launch in Frankfurt. Will it be weeks, months ? Did the press already received an official invite from BWM ? Since some people in this forum are well connected (Scott, Lemetier)they could may be give us a hint.

The official launch (today) always follows the digital launch so publications will start printing soon. Want to avoid the same problem with the M550i as well (winter tires led to lackluster reviews at some publications).

Scott is more on the the PR side than I am, so he would provide a better answer.

In my opinion though, this is one of the best M5's in a long time. My favorite part:

The Front Axle Traction Assist. It's completely transparent and makes the car unbelievably neutral and easily controlled.

My pleasure. It started a few minutes ago. I'm extremely jet lagged and dealing with the aftermath of Irma at my home from FRA so won't be contributing much right now.

He drove the prototype like everybody else did back in May.
The production car tests are still far but no so far away.
The production car does not arrive on the market until Spring 2018. But the test drives will avoid the Tyre debacle of the M550i.

SCOTT, as a personal question do you see yourself getting rid of your 30 Jahre M5 for the new car at some point?

Oh Yes if I like it. I have not driven yet but will before the end of the year.
I drove the new X3 M40i to the IAA. It's completely brilliant but has untapped potential and remains wanting.

Press Drives in November @ Bimmerpost for the occasion?

Hopefully I get a drive on the non-media days?
